re: #78 Walter L. Newton

Was it actually Napalitano who revised her statement? The radio report I heard just said Homeland Security said the system failed, they didn’t mention that it was a statement from Napalitano.

I did hear the whole interview from yesterday with Couric. Couric gave Napalitano every chance in hell to “revise” her statement yesterday, Napalitano just went full steam ahead.

Embarrassing in my opinion.

Here we go again.

Napolitano said, quote, “once this incident occurred, everything happened that should have.” She was very obviously NOT saying that the system worked because the passengers tackled the terrorist.

It was clumsily worded, and immediately seized on by right wing bloggers (of course), and today she clarified it. Yes, clarified it.
